Product Description
The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the foremost man-made tourist attraction in the United States. But at one time, critics said it could never be built. From the start the project looked impossible. The span of the bay was too wide. The shore was too unstable, and the tides too turbulent. See incredible footage of its construction, as storms battered workers and fog shrouded construction. Yet engineer Joseph B. Strauss' plans proved to be a masterpiece of design and function. In four years, the longest, highest, most spectacular suspension bridge on Earth opened to the public, and became one of the greatest symbols of American ingenuity
